According to Subterranean Books in St. Louis, "The book was JUST released and it's [already] in its 3rd printing," so if you're looking for first editions, keep your eyes on AbeBooks, Alibris, and Amazon where copies are selling from $45 to $75 (unsigned).
And judging by the keyword searches that direct traffic to this blog, a lot of people are looking for Adam Levin's debut novel.
Both Amazon and Amazon UK are already selling copies (even though the release date is set for November 1, 2010). And members of The Rumpus Book Club should have received their copies in the last couple of weeks.
